especially during pregnancy in the first trimester, is the perfect choice for Moms-to-Be. Henna hair dye is the natural choice, but traditional henna hair dye application method can be too lengthy and cumbersome for many pregnant women.
Chemical Hair Dye is Not the Best Hair Dye for Pregnant Women
It is strongly recommended by most obstetricians, gynecologists and other health care professionals, that pregnant women NOT use permanent hair dye during the first trimester of pregnancy.*Your baby is undergoing very important neurological fetal development during your first three months of pregnancy. Low levels of permanent chemical dye are absorbed into the scalp and passed through the body and have been identified in urine samples.
Additionally, breathing toxic fumes from permanent chemical dyes can be harmful to fetal development. Of course, all pregnant women want to protect the baby from any kind of potential danger.
Some healthcare professionals feel the "risk is minimal", "might be probable", "maybe unsafe". To this I say, why take ANY possible risk with your baby's health; as well as your own. At least during the first trimester, try something that has been safe to use since ancient times. You might just make it a permanent decision because -you love the results.
Not All Henna Hair Dyes are Equal -Avoid Mislabeled "Black
Henna"
“Black Henna” dyes usually contain
even higher concentrations of PPD than many commercial hair dyes sold in the
USA. Sadly many individuals think that when they purchase this product, it is
pure indigo (or pure indigo only mixed with pure henna). Far from all natural
hair color, the results have led to sad consequences and also some dermatologic
horror stories. It's sad to relate that there are no regulations in many
countries, including India, for ingredient labels. For this reason and
to avoid further confusion, always make sure of the company’s reputation
that you are dealing with.A Word about Pure Indigo:
It is not the so-call misnomer, “Black Henna”.
"Black Henna" is not pure indigo or "black" indigo. If indigo is mixed with chemicals dyes, or even henna that has been compromised by chemicals, including PPD, then it is not pure indigo or the so-called, "black henna".When you want pure indigo, make sure what you buy is: pure indigo.
If you want all natural hair color, stay far away from “Black Henna”.

A Very Happy Mom Testimonial
“I
was so excited to try out this henna dye! But so nervous at the same time! I
have never dyed my hair before and I decided to go with the Lustrous Henna®
Mahogany to give my hair a little red touch!Thanks to my husband's help, it was really easy to do and took about a couple hours to complete the whole process. I loved that I could do it in the comfort and privacy of my own home and watch TV at the same time! It made the time go by really fast!
It was also great to know I got a beautiful color but without all the harmful ingredients! The color came out pretty red at first but it eventually blended in and looked gorgeous! I love my new hair color and I can't wait to buy a different color next time!
I recommend Saba Botanical Lustrous Henna Hair Color for all men and women who either want to cover grays or just want a new hair color/change like me! The colors are gorgeous, don't dry your hair out, and are safe for everyone to use!”
